From the other thread:

I heard one person from WWII say this:

"While I hated the Nazi's, hated the Germans, that was not the object of my greatest hatred.

"My greatest hatred was what they made me become, in order to defeat them."

Wise words. Let us become savage in response to them. We will have the luxury to hate what we needed to do, later.

Oh I don't care about them...they made it very clear the value they put on human life, destroy them all without mercy.

Thanks be to God, "it comes out if it's in you!" My dad, the Major said much the same Ivan and mom had to be very careful waking him for years but it had to be.

I agree. I don't know who it was, but centuries ago a military strategist once said, "It is your enemy that determines where you fight, whom you fight, when you fight and how you fight. If you fail to meet your enemy in any of these, you will be defeated."

Seems that we have no choice but to "sink to their level", simply because that is where they are. That is where they've chosen to take this battle.
